About this Event
For the first time since 2019, radical puppetry collective Poncili Creacion is returning to Houston for a series of public performances showcasing its imaginative, larger-than-life creations.
Based in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Pablo and Efrain Del Hierro are the artists behind Poncili Creacion, a name inspired by ideas of Chaotic Tranquility, Beautiful Nothingness, and Raw Magic. During their Houston visit, the duo will conceive, design and construct “Mini Mundo,” a monumental puppet ecosystem made from scavenged materials inside a historic warehouse off the Gulf Freeway, alongside community members.
Following the project's completion, Poncili will open the experience to the public with a weekend of performances designed to encourage creative self-expression, skill-sharing and community engagement. The performances are open to all ages and offered on a pay-what-you-want basis, making for a one-of-a-kind addition to Houston's weekend activities.
Performance Schedule:
- November 20 | 7–9 p.m.
- November 21 | 2–4 p.m.
- November 22 | 2–4 p.m.
